Because we believe that art can transform individuals and communities, our mission is to stimulate research, support artistic practice, and generate original programming through the Art, Design & Architecture Museum’s collections. Through rotating installations of its permanent collections along with inclusive exhibitions and diverse programs, the AD&A Museum is both a teaching museum, committed to the development of critical thinking and visual literacy in support of the University’s goals of education, research, and service, and a resource for the wider Goleta/Santa Barbara community.

The AD&A Museum is proud to be part of the UC Santa Barbara tradition of creativity, curation, and academic excellence. On UCSB Give Day, help the Art, Design & Architecture Museum by making your gift now.
